This is, hands down, the best hostel I've ever stayed in (and I've stayed in my fair share). The hostel itself is absolutely beautiful, with an enormous open courtyard that's been appropriated as a wonderful common space. When we arrived, they had foosball going, some people were grilling outside, there were large bean bags for lounging laid out everywhere, and... More

This place was one of the better hostels I stayed in in South America. Chill vibe, fun bar, excellent staff, delightfully large beds with TWO pillows, and hot, strong showers. It had everything. Great place to get to know Cusco from as it is super close to the center, maybe a five minute walk or so from the Plaza de... More

I am from GA and I really loved everything about this hostel. We had three in our party and we got the suite, matrimonial suite, and twin bed private bathroom over the course of a week. The privacy was wonderful, the place was affordable, and they took good care of our luggage while we hiked the Inca Trail for a... More

I stayed in a great private room here and would have loved to give it 5/5 but they really don't do anything about the noise people make - people talking really loudly in communal areas until 1:00 AM and then again at 6:00 AM to get ready for trekking trips! It would be a simple thing to fix because other... More

Plug sockets in your locker, duvets, bed made everyday in both private and dorm rooms, good atmosphere, great showers... Everything you could want from a hostel. Private room was nicer than some hotels I've stayed in!

We stayed in a private room for 2 with a private bathroom for about US$23 per person per night. Bed was comfortable, room/bathroom was clean and had hot showers with good water pressure. Cool decor in the common areas and lots of good places to lounge. Surprisingly there wasn't a lot of loud partying going on that we saw. 2... More

I stayed there 3 times; the Hostal is close to city centre. Nice big courtyard, Table tennis and other games available. Bar which is very busy in the evenings overlooks the narrow road, very uncomfortable seating. In the evening at least once a week there is a theme night but sadly it never has much impact. The rotund so called... More

Cheap,nice,clean,good and really easy to get to know some people. I went there alone and had any problem. All the stuff is friendly and warm. And during your Machu Picchu trip you can just leave your bags and other stuff without paying anything and without thinking about them on your trip =) so I think that place was perfect..

Pariwana did a great job of keeping the hostel clean and fun. They have nightly activities in the bar that draw a good crowd! I wouldn't consider this a "party" hostel - yes, people party but it's not as crazy as others I've been to in Europe (I'm 31 now - so wasn't looking for a party hostel- but was... More
